How do I duplicate a spreadsheet keeping all the layout and formulae but without the data?

I have a good spreadsheet set up. I wish to start a new set of 'books' using the same layout and formula set up but with no data. Other than duplicating the spread sheet and manually deleting the data while preserving the formulae how can I do this?

Hi Frasercat,
You could have a table where you input values, and another table with formulae that refer to the input table. Save the original document, then duplicate. Delete the values in the input table. You could Save As Template for future use.
Regards,
Ian.

  • How to copy a database with all the objects and relationship but with no data

    Hello Experts
    I am here for your advise as usual, I  want to create a copy of my current database from an existing one on SQL Server 2008r2 Standard Edition, here is what I need, I want all the objects including any relationship between the objects and I do
    not need any data. I have some idea for using the general script in SSMS, but I still need you expertise advise please, thank you kindly for your help.
    Regards

    One option is to run BACKUP/RESTORE, once you have restored you run:
    SELECT 'ALTER TABLE ' + quotename(s.name) + '.' + quotename(o.name) +
           ' DISABLE TRIGGER ALL '
    FROM   sys.schemas s
    JOIN   sys.objects o ON o.schema_id = s.schema_id
    WHERE  o.type = 'U'
      AND  EXISTS (SELECT *
                   FROM   sys.triggers tr
                   WHERE  tr.parent_id = o.object_id)
    Copy result and paste into a query window do to run. Next:
    SELECT 'DELETE ' + quotename(s.name) + '.' + quotename(o.name)
    FROM   sys.schemas s
    JOIN   sys.objects o ON o.schema_id = s.schema_id
    WHERE  o.type = 'U'
    Run this result until you don't get any more errors.
    Run the first query again, but change DISABLE to ENABLE.
    This is more long-winding than scripting, particularly if you have lots of data. But you know that you will not make any changes whatsoever to the schema.
    The scripting in SSMS generally does it right, I believe, but some items are not scripted by default. If you run BACKUP/RESTORE, you know that you get a faithful copy.
    Of course, the best way is to keep your code under version control and take the version control system as your ultimate truth.

  • HT201272 i had a problem with my computer and had to put a new hard drive in it. i was able to redownload all purchased songs and movies but not the audio books, any ideas?

    My computer's hard drive went, so i replaced it and installed windows 7,  i down loaded itunes and all purchases where there to download except my audio books.  Any Ideas?

    The difference is that the providers of the audiobooks have not granted a license to Apple to allow redownloading. Unless and until they do, Apple cannot provide that feature.

  • How do I make Mail stop keeping all my old emails?

    I have just done a scan of my MacBook using Disk Inventory X to try and work out what is taking up so much space on my hard drive. Turns out I have 94GB of mail. I am wondering if anyone can tell me how to get Mail to stop keeping all my old emails?

    I have had a look in the time capsule.....bad news on that front, it is empty although it had been regualry updating every hour when it was connected previous (had a bit of a move around with both the office and home). This had happened before and Apple replaced the Time Capsule with a new one along with a new hardrive in the 27" iMac, I wonder if that same problem had not been resolved now seeing the Time Capsule has nothing backed up. My word this is frustrating, the hours I have spent on the phone with Apple tech and still having issues, anyway one thing at a time.
    Thanks for the help!

    You need to enter the Apple ID and password that was used to set up/activate the phone. There is no way around this.

    Do you mean a flash drive?  I don't know if I would trust one of those entirely.  Make sure you make a backup.
    Copy the entire iTunes folder to the flash drive.  Start iTunes while holding down the option/alt key and guide it to the library on the flash drive.  If you forget to plug in the flash drive before starting iTunes in the future you will have to do the option start thing again.

  • HT1373 how can you set up another iTunes account but keep all your purchases and music from a previous account

    how can you set up another iTunes account but keep all your purchases and music from a previous account

    An iTunes account is something you log into online to buy music.
    An iTunes library is a collection of media and other items (including apps) on your computer.  This is what you see when you open iTunes.
    So, do you mean account or library?  You can set up a new iTunes account but all your purchases made in that account will remain in the old account and cannot be moved.  You can set up a new library by starting iTunes and immediately hold down the option key.

  • I want to move the location of my iTunes library music files. At present they are all on my time machine . I want to move them all to my imac. Can I do that and keep all my playlists and play counts? Thanks in advance

    I want to move the location of my iTunes library music files. At present they are all on my time machine . I want to move them all to my imac. Can I do that and keep all my playlists and play counts? Thanks in advance
    its 1000s of songs . Originally I used the time machine as a networked drive but it can cause the songs to pause so I'm thinking it would be better to have the songs on the internal imac drive
    how can I move the songs so I can re-open iTunes and the playlists (with plays in the 100s) find the song in the new place?

    Do you mean on your Time Machine backup drive? Or are you actually accessing the backup? In either case you shouldn't be doing that. If you haven't space on your HDD to store the iTunes Library, then at least put it on another external drive.
    Since you did not provide any information about what's actually "on my time machine," here's what you would do. The entire iTunes folder should be stored in the /Home/Music/ folder. Within that folder you would have three folders: imm Media, iTunes, and iTunes Playlists.

    If you manually manage the device the you can remove the content from the PC after you have put it on the device. However this isn't the recommended way. At some point you'll probably need to restore it which involves wiping all the data. If you don't have all this data to hand then you'll have to try to recover it from a now problematic device first. It's much easier to sync with your library - yes you have two copies, but that's not a waste, it is prudent. As long as you have two copies you can afford to lose one knowing you have a backup. In practice I keep a complete backup of my library, in addition to the subsets of it that I can put on my devices.

  • How can I insert a spreadsheet containing drop down boxes and links to other spreadsheets into a keynotes slide?  Please help :(

    How can I insert a spreadsheet containing drop down boxes and links to other spreadsheets into a keynotes slide?  Please help
    I need to retain all the formula's and the sheets these formulas are linked from.

    Have you considered switching out of Keynote and over to your spreadsheet program when you get to this slide? If you launch the speadsheet program before Keynote you can switch using Command-Tab. You can then switch back into Keynote when you are done.
    I realize that this is not what you were looking for but I don't think it is possible to do exactly what you want.

    If you purchased it from Apple within the last 14 days then you can return it for a full refund. otherwise no. If you purchased it elsewhere you have to check with them.
